Arnie is taking the week off, so we’re rebroadcasting some of our best shows from 2017. It’s been 90 days since Hurricane Maria devastated Puerto Rico. We go back to 2 interviews we did in the aftermath of the storm.

Part One: David Dayen on his new piece in The Intercept about the House disaster “relief” bill that cancels debt, but not for Puerto Rico. David writes for The Intercept, Salon, the Fiscal Times, and the New Republic.

Part Two: Dr. Joe Romm from Think Progress’s blog ClimateProgress.org. We talk about the status of Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria – rebuilding, solar roof tiles, climate change, storm protection, and more.
